Pretty In Pink...

2013 is meant to be the year of emerald green, but I see more and more pink creeping in. Probably the colour most in need of a re-brand, I thought I'd give it a bit of a push by collating some pictures of stunning pink front doors. Did you know that at the start of the 19th century pink was the colour you always dressed little boys in! Some how it did a full gender 180, and got marginalised in the process. What a shame, as a smattering of it really brightens up a space.

House envy...

...even if it is in Clapham.

But I'll always make an exception for people who own Pasmore prints. The very definition of good taste.

Flat envy...

Back to Paris to drool over a flat by interior designer Sarah Lavoine. It's for an art collector, but I think the flat is the star, and eclipses all of it's contents. Except for that light shade, which reminds me of a day at the races.

Novelty lighting...

Fun and function:

The "Bird Poop Chandelier" by Wyatt John Little

The dripping lights of Pieke Bergmans

Neon chandeliers, noughties style by Peter Mikošek and Michael Vrátníková.

Jason Miller's Antler-tastic offerings.

Borkis Balloon lights

Carbon fiber lighting by Marcus Tremonto

Small hand torches by Christine Birkhoven

Any of the wacky bespoke creations by Rock and Royal 

 

Or chain them down/run them through/use them as a halo ala James Clar
